Hey everyone. I know what it's like to be just getting into the bitcoin community and have everything be pretty confusing.

If you are looking to get into mining(even small time) and you want to start making some bitcoins you should definitely check out my pool as it is easy to use and I can personally help you set up your miner.

600 khash/s is definetly not worth the power consumption behind itwith my 300 mhash/s I get a bit coin in 3 days, according to this you'll need 1500 days for 1 bitcoin or 15 days for 0.01 bitcoin which is the lowest you can withdraw from a pool

afaik the CPU miner takes spare CPU cycles but in case of a GPU miner it'll drain all it can,but the results differ, on my Radeon HD6950 I can play 3D games with the GPU miner running and all that happens is my mhash/s rate drops a lot, the game will still run, however the framerate is somewhat low.
